Well this is a shining example as to why mass comunication is hard.
Personally I don't think the name matters that much.
Much like a child who is given a name, it will grow into it. The site
will define what "betterhuman" means by it's content.
"A rose by any other name is still a rose."
Any name will be misunderstood by somebody. Just think about
"Transhuman". Whenever I tell somebody that I am a Transhuman, they
start looking for my lady shoes and laugh.
But than again I must admit that "PostHuman" would be a better name for
a >H news site. Ie. the little wordplay with news and post in the name.
